New York society.s Funny Man.

The prime pet of the wealthiest bellies OF
New York is the most Enthusiastically ugly man
conceivable There is no offense to him in
saying so, for that is his fortune. His name
is Marshall p Wilder, and he is frightfully
misshapen hunchback. His face is wonder.
fully mobile and he can put it through Q
wide range of awfully exaggerated expires
sions His career is curious illustration OF
shrewdness and audacity. He nlade up his
mind five years ago to become professional
jester His plan was to give private enter
tairments in the parlors of the rich, after the
manner of numerous London performers, but
he couldn't get his scheme fairly started.
His services were accepted for public charity
shows, but be was likely to starve out at thai
kind Of business.
He said to himself if the countenance Of!
the Prince of Wales had done SO much fol
the beautiful Langtry, it ought to be potent
for the ugly Wilder. But how to get ita The
problem seemed difficult, but he solved IL
He wrote letter introducing himself tc
Wales He put it in an envelope about a
foot long and covered with q splendor OF
seals and monograms. This he took to Lon
dom The letter Of such wondrous aspect let
him, with only three efforts, right into the
royal presence at a club.
"What do you want of me2" asked the
prince, puzzled by the strange missive.
"Just to tell you one little story" Wilder
replied.
"Very we'll"
The gro;esque dwarf gave an anecdote, il
Illustrating it with such grimaces as royalty
had never seen before. He laughed and
called for more A knot of club men gath
cred and for an hour reared at the new story
teller. From that came Wales favor and
season Of profit. Wilder returned with many
letters from intensely swell Londoners; ac-
counts of his appearance before swell drawing

"Come with me-" SAID Press Agent Day, Of
Forepaugh's, one afternoon; "did you never
see an acre of teetha Noa Then / will show
you one-yes. two acres, almost a ten acre
lot"
Then Press Agent Day led the way up the
track which surrounds the two rings and
platform in the circus tent The performance
was going on, and the two clowns, one made
up as bear, were going through their really
comic maneuvers and limitations of the Blon-
din horse Interesting as this bit of panto-
mime was, it could not compare for pictur-
sequences with the scene presented on the
other side of the ring. There, stretched out
upon the hillside OF seats, was the oft heard of
"sea of faces" Always rather startling to
one who beholds it for the first time, this
ocean of countenances sparkling with thou
sands of eyes and looking SO white by con-
trast with the darker shades of clothing and
the SCOT stained canvas, now took on ar as
pect doubly strange. In each face there APP
peared to be "a still winter streak, horizontal
line which seemed almost to glitter
"There," exclaimed the circus agent, @look
at that for a half acre of teeth. That is
scene to make IA dentist weary and in q circus
is the only place you can find it, Theatre
audiences do not grin and show their teeth
Ike that, except up in the gallery, where you
can't see them. Walk along over there by
the reserved seats and you'll not see any such
display as this. The people who sit there
don't grin, either, or at least don't open their
mouths. But even this crowd over here on
the general benches is nothing to what you
may see in the country. Look carefully and
you'll perceive that not more than one spec
tator in three is showing his teeth; in the
rural districts nine ont of ten do whenever
anything really funny is going On in the ring.
If was to go to sleep for six months, and
you were to take me inside circus tent in
front Of the crowds, l could tell whether We
were in city or in country town BY simply
noting the display Of teeth along the benches

Secrets OF French Ice Cream.

@French made ice cream is getting bad
name in this city," said prominent confec-
toner, simply because people cannot distin-
guish it from the imitation. You see it was
recognized some years ago that the French
cream was by all odds the best 1t has a
peculiarly smooth and pleasing consistency
All the best confectioners hired Frenchmen
to make their cream. Recently a number Of
firms in this city have advertised gelatine
preparation guaranteed to make ice cream
smooth like the French product Now this
gelatine destroys the favor, and it is only
used because it is cheap and gives the cream
the appearance of the French make. This Is
why French ice cream is not so good as 1t
used to ben-New York Sun.

IHE Germans use at the present day
among their furniture makers, carpen-
ters and joiners, thirteen different va
rleties of saws, each one of which has
its own peculiar size Of the teeth, as
we'll as a different relation of the teeth
TO each other. How important the thin
saw blade is, not only as a means to save
power, but also as a means to save wood.
can be seen from the following a log
OF walnut, four meters long and one
meter diameter, cut into tweDty pieces
by the new horizontal sawframe. saves
thirty millimeters of wood when com
pared with the cutting OF the old-fasb
Toned vertical saw. This is equal to a
profit of 50 to S12. For Germany, where
annually 100000 cubic meters of this
wood is used in various Industries, this
would represent saving of S37. 500 to
$4,000.

How to Save the Peach Blossoms.

On a visit to the Catskill Mountains
! the past season, L stopped at a farm
| house, the owner, like many others in
that vicinity, owns saw mill, and
pays considerable attention to fruit
On ore occasion, he found that a lot
Of ss swdust bad some time in the winter
been accidentally thrown around the
| roots of one of his peach trees, to the
depth of a foot. AS spring came, be
was astOnished to find that. while all the
| rest Of his peach orchard was starting in
TO bloom, the tree around which the saw
dust had been thrown showed no sign of
starting. Fearing something was the
matter, be began to dig around the roots,
add, although it was the first week in
May, he found the soil was frozen solid.
The covering of sawdust had been put
on when the ground was frozen, and, be
ing an excellent non-cUnductOT, had
kept it from thawing, thus retaTding
| the growth ten or twelve days, so that
by the time the peach tree, thus belated,
commenced blooming. all danger of late
spring frOsts, so fatal to the peach crop,
had passed. This was some fifteen
years ago, but the owner, acting on the
suggestion thus fortunately given has
ever since covered his peach trees for
SIX OF eight feet around the roots with
about a foot of sawdust, being careful,
however. to do the covering in February
or March. when the ground was deeply
frozen IIa claims that nv this ruaf0Od
he never failed to secure a crop of
peaches, by thus delaying the develop
ment of the buds until the danger of
| spring frost was past.
This plan is well worth adopting in
all sections where peaches and other
/ fruits are injured by late frOsts.
/ though sawdust is perhaps the best ma
/ terial to cover with, yet if not obtaina-
BILE leaves, or litter, or any nOnconduc-
/ ting material may be used to keep the
soil from thawing, thus retarding vegi-
tatjon. One very important point must
| not be lost sight of, which is, that the
covering must only be done when the
frost is deep in the soil, or late in the
winter when the ground is likely to be
frozen deep. If covered when the
ground is slightly frozen early in the
winter, the object wonld be defeated, as
the late covering which is put on to
keep the frost in the ground, if put on
early in the winter, would prevent the
frost from entering deep enough to re-
taTd the growth.
